General Info

The Student Response System - "clickers" - consists of two parts:

Instructors

Instructors use the TurningPoint software within Microsoft PowerPoint to create interactive presentations using premade professionaly-designed templates. For example, after creating a presentation, the instructor, at the appropriate point in the in-class lecture, directs students to enter their responses using their individual clickers. The presentation can then show the data collected from the students in graph form.

Students

Students use TurningPoint ResponseCard handheld clickers in the classroom to submit answers and feedback to the instructor. The instructor of a class which uses clickers will check out the clickers to the students, or specify that the clicker should be purchased along with class textbooks.
